Everywhere you look, industry leaders are telling you the right way to market your product or service.
They have the data to back it up, sure, but customers can quickly get burned out by seeing the same tactics utilized to take their money at every opportunity.
While social media, emails, and targeted ads work, the public will reach their limit, and this is why it’s essential to think of more traditional methods to reach your audience and spread brand awareness.
Part of the Community
A business that is part of the community will find customers banging down the door to use their service.
When a new company moves into an area, there are always doubts, so you must show that you are not just here because it is convenient, but because you want to help improve the local area.
Aside from running your store, make sure to involve yourself with local causes, including charities.
This will endear you to those who already live here, but you must make sure you are authentic about everything.
Always On Show
There are few things better at grabbing attention than a 5000 square foot billboard standing tall on the highway, but such billboards seem to have gone out of style, with marketers preferring small thumbnail icons on your social media pages.
However, taking advantage of the empty space and using reprographics to create to-scale versions of your latest ad (mobile or not) is sure to make people pay attention.
Depending on your budget, you may be able to invest in a smart billboard design, which is more interactive, and therefore more eye-catching.
The Event of the Season
Business events are a fantastic way of spreading the word about your business to as many people as possible, and it’s also a superb way to network.
At these events, you can have key speakers discussing the industry or new products, and you can also use presentations to demonstrate how your product works.
While your web copy can wax lyrical about how innovative your new product is, seeing it in person is much more effective for potential investors and new customers.
Are You Experienced?
Treating customers right and giving them an exceptional experience is always going to be a tried and tested method of marketing, but it’s one that has fallen behind sexier and more modern approaches.
Still, marketing purists believe there is no better way for you to spread awareness about your company than by delivering a fantastic experience, as few things spread quicker than positive word of mouth.
If you provide a tremendous customer experience for your clients, including after-sales support, you can guarantee remarkable growth for your business, without a computer or smartphone in sight.
Looking Back to Move Forward
Sometimes, the best way to innovate is to consider what worked before. Just because we have new ways of marketing our products doesn’t mean the old ways have stopped working.
If you’re looking to stand out from the endless string of online ads and digital marketing nonsense, consider looking back to help your business move forward.
